This program is designed for students interested in studying the scientific principles underlying the foundations of Kinesiology. Through a required field internship and an optional research thesis, students will have an opportunity to apply this foundation in a number of areas of kinesiology practice including: rehabilitation, ergonomics, and/or gerontology. Graduates are immediately eligible to complete the entry into practice examination to be a registered Kinesiologist with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario.

Academic Regulations

To be in good academic standing in the School of Kinesiology and Health Sciences, the student must:
1) satisfy all conditions of admission;
2) not fail more than 3 credits in an academic year or in the previous 30 credits;
3) maintain a cumulative overall average of at least 4.0 on all courses taken.

A student who fails to attain good academic standing may be allowed to continue on probation for no more than one year (or 30 credits). If after one probationary period, the student does attain good academic standing, he or she may proceed in program.  However, if after the probationary period, the student fails to attain good academic standing, he or she must withdraw from the School of Kinesiology and Health Sciences, but may apply to transfer to another program at the university.

A student who fails over 6 credits in the 1st-year of program may not proceed to upper year PHED courses.
After one calendar year, a student who has been asked to withdraw from the program may petition the Senate Committee on Academic Regulations and Awards for readmission, but such measures should have the recommendation of the academic unit before being considered by the Senate Committee.
